A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Pelco ALM2064, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used.

    8 C1517M-A (11/02) SUPERVISED MODE Use this wiring mode if security is of utmost importance. Alarm inputs wired in supervised mode maximize the detection of tampering by driving a constant current through a 10-kohm load. If a deviation in the steady current occurs, the alarm goes off. Please note that unused inputs must also be wired. Refer to Figu[...]

    C1517M-A (11/02) 9 UNSUPERVISED MODE This wiring mode is easily defeated and should not be used in critical situations. For example, if you wire an alarm as unsupervised and normally open, and a wire is cut, the alarm does not go off. If wiring for a normally open condition, unused inputs can be left unwired. If wiring for a normally closed conditi[...]
